lol fucking neckbeards downvoting someone for liking a game that YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO LIKE
It’s not my fault they haven’t at least tried the four times a year free fly events lately. Some of them have good reason to be salty, I still have ships I’ve been waiting years for and I’m not in the honeymoon phase with the game anymore.
Overall it’s a smart way to fund development of a server meshing software you can license to other companies later. The game has technologies behind it specifically made to do this at business scale, and they are just applying them to a video game. (Kubernetes, microservices, containers, etc.)
I wish the game would be finished already but as long as squadron 42 comes out idc. That’s originally what I backed.
Unfortunately free fly events are usually the worst time to play. I wonder sometimes if it doesn't chase away more than it attracts.
Honestly that is a fair point, it is a nice way to get people in that have been on the fence when you’re sherpa-ing them around
You mean like when people say they like Starfield?
That'd probably also net someone a ton of downvotes from neckbeards, so yeah.
Maybe just Elite Dangerous fans who are mad?
Anyone who has played elite and hasn’t played star citizen lately should
Since they said something was feature complete (squadron 42? I can't remember) I've been waiting for a free fly event to try it again. Every other time I've tried it in the past, it was not good; performance was shit, and there wasn't anything to do. I would hope it being feature complete means that at least the latter part has been remedied.
There are two related games being built. One is Star Citizen (the MMO), the other is Squadron 42, a standalone single player game.
The games share almost everything, so work on one benefits the other. Squadron 42 is the one that is now feature complete.
What this means for Star Citizen is two things.
If you were unimpressed the last time you checked in, now is not the time to come back. But 6-12 months from now absolutely will be. I'm not promising you'll be impressed by then, but you should at least see something new and different.
Clearly lol
